Workshop Four

SUMMARY
WORKSHOP COMPLETED

Workshop Four was a three-day workshop where we discussed the draft program document and analyzed results of previous workshops, interim contributions from the community, and activity on the Planning Wiki. It was held April 16-18, 2009, at the Providence Biltmore Hotel in Providence, Rhode Island.

GOALS

  1. Allow working groups to consolidate their work by meeting face-to-face
  2. Engage in substantive dialogue regarding the program document from an institutional and community perspective
  3. Prioritize elements of the program document to inform the outline of the RIT Proposal
  4. Acquire a general, non-binding sense of what parts of the program document institutions are willing / able to commit to
